Bread chop is a popular snack in South Asian cuisine that is loved by people of all ages. It is made by coating slices of bread with a flavorful potato mixture, then dipping them in beaten egg and breadcrumbs before frying until crispy. Here is a recipe for bread chop that you can try at home.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs

Directions:
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices and flatten them using a rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chili, ginger paste, garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth mixture.
- Take a small amount of the potato mixture and spread it evenly on one side of a bread slice. Cover it with another slice of bread, pressing down firmly to stick them together. Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices.
- Cut the bread slices into desired shapes like triangles or rectangles.
